This is why you pay with cash at multiple different hardware stores, or - and this is the most effective - simply make sure you’re prepared from the start, acquiring each of these as you need them normally and regularly restocking the consumables, meaning you’re always ready to hide a body.
Two rules:
1: two is one, one is none.
B- always have a spare.
Anything you consider absolutely essential for something, you should have 3 on hand.
I feel like paying with cash is getting suspicious these days. I have gone to several cities in the past few years where they have said cash is no longer accepted. I hated it, but sadly, I think that’s going to be everywhere eventually.
At Harbor Freight, “Want some zip ties with that?”
Wrong. You can also do that before a snow storm.
Thanks to self-checkout, no one ever questions anything. Thank God.
Walter White says to buy things at different places. Seems less suspicious.
I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.
Shop at local mom & pop stores that have no security cameras. No cameras and you’re supporting the local economy instead of big corpo interests.
That is why you travel by foot/public transit from a good distance away, covered up, and without a cell. Arrive at the back of the lot where the day workers congregate and make the offer for more cash than what the purchase costs to an individual to go inside and purchase some items. Ideally, you’ll want to spread these purchases across multiple jurisdictions, days (or more), wearing different coverings, and mixing in nondescript items with the purchases. If the first individual refuses, leave and make an attempt elsewhere, don’t make this memorable.
I like and fear your answer, but having recently watched a ridiculous number of police homicide interrogations, it seems to me that if you are smart enough to get away with murder you are probably smart enough to avoid it in the first place. A lot of murders are solved with cameras and phone records. Even many sociopaths who you might expect to do better.
